a quote my mom told me when i was a child

[aggie49]

my mom told me this and i have told my girls and today i heard my daughter tell her kids i didn't think she had remembered this one and i think all parents should use this one



“If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.”

Yes you are right. I brought my boys up doing the same thing because I am that way so that have followed in my footsteps and they always succeed. And I have been teaching my granddaughters the same thing. By the way one of my boys I was told would always need my help and he would never be on his own. I proved them wrong. He is amazing and he just became a grandfather I am so proud of him. nothing is impossible all you have to do is find a solution.

I carried that motto in my heart and mind while raising my daughter.  I do have to say that I feel very good about the outcome!

i agree totally with you uys the kids now adays have no respect with anything they think everything should be handed to them like we all owe them i know if i did half of waht the kids do today my parents would have busted my butt and i would have been grounded but thank god i stayed out of trouble 98% of the time

Mom Quote:  "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all."

I love that quote.

I wish someone gave my mom that quote.  I'm living proof of what happens when you give your kids criticism instead of confidence.
